Established as a key player in its industry, Pure Cycle contracts with landowners, land developers, home builders, cities, and municipalities. The company owns and manages approximately 16,000 acres of irrigated farmland in the Arkansas Valley and about 930 acres of fully entitled master planned community development land along Denver's primary east/west transportation corridor, Interstate 70. The land development segment primarily focuses on developing and selling finished lots, generating maximum revenue for the company.
Pure Cycle's Sky Ranch Master Planned Community is a notable project, where they have delivered 738 finished lots to homebuilders and retained 14 lots for their single-family rental segment. As of the latest update, nearly 600 homes have been built and sold in Sky Ranch, with 90 homes under construction. Pure Cycle also completed and leased 11 additional single-family homes, bringing the total to 14 homes in their rental portfolio.
In the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, Pure Cycle posted $4.7 million in net income, marking its sixth consecutive year and seventeenth consecutive fiscal quarter with positive net income. Despite challenges such as rising interest rates impacting the housing market, Pure Cycle's Sky Ranch community has shown solid growth, thanks to entry-level homes and its strategic location.
Financially, Pure Cycle reported total revenues of $14.6 million for the year ended August 31, 2023, with significant contributions from both the water and wastewater resource development segment ($7.3 million) and the land development segment ($6.8 million).

Pure Cycle continues to see strong demand for its well-priced lots and water availability in the Denver metropolitan region. Looking forward, the company anticipates substantial growth in its water and wastewater service revenues as the Sky Ranch community develops further. With ongoing projects and a robust balance sheet, Pure Cycle is well-positioned to capitalize on market opportunities and deliver strong shareholder returns.
